Monotub Colonized For A Week but Nothing Doing!
    #26094469 - 07/07/19 10:08 AM (5 years, 6 months ago)

Hi,
First attempt at monotub (after successful PF grow).  Mixed 5lbs of fully colonized spawn with 5 lbs of sterilized substrate into monotub.  (No casing).

For the last week I’ve had healthy tub with four 1.5” holes w/ poly fill.  Inside tub is constant 99% RH & temps staying in the 70 degree range.  Walls/lid have lots of condensation. 12/12 light.

Big droplets of dew kept forming on mycelium so I’ve reduced polyfil density & started fanning last night.

Please tell me I’m on the right track!

Give it a few more days. Keep the poly loose. Dont bother fanning.

WOW!  Thanks for the kind & quick responses! 

My main concern is that my apartment gets into the 90’s during the day so I’ve been leaving the ac unit running on blowing on my tub to keep temps in the 70’s.  Otherwise the temp/RH inside tub is ridiculous.  I also have a fan blowing on tub.  Thoughts!

I've been noticing a lot of new 'Bama members lately. Y'all must be going through a mycological renaissance.

It takes me like 7-10 days to colonize. Then once I put in fruiting conditions it's like another week. Some of the strains I used went really fast and others kind of slow. Don't worry about it.

Finally got some pinning!!

A BIG ‘THANKS’ to everyone who chimed in on my original post above & reassured me that I was on the right track! 



I guess my only concern atm is the temp fluctuations (ambient & inside tub).  Living in the Deep South, my little apartment gets into the 90’s while at work if I don’t run AC unit. 

So I’m keeping the AC running 24/7 but the temp still fluctuates from 68 to 84 degrees (RH is no problem).  Still trying to configure AC settings/tub placement while away.

Will this temp swing affect my pin set /growth?

You might be fine bro. I'm having the same temps to deal with. It's been hard to keep things even at 75 degrees this early in the am. Afternoon im pushing 81/83 not fun.

Putting one more window unit in today. :goodluck:
